White Lie 2
“We’ll always be a family,” Bette argued. “We just don’t live together.”
“Bette, you know what I mean,” Tina replied, only mildly exasperated. “It’s going to be hard enough going on this retreat, but if she gets in, I think it’s time to come clean.”
“Once we get a letter of admission,” Bette stated. “Then we’ll be open about our situation.”
“Let’s look to see if there’s any information about the weekend away,” Tina flipped to the section of the book that explained the retreat. She skimmed page by page. “It’s not very specific. There’s a list of what to bring…not any explanation of the types of things we’ll be doing though.”
“Well it certainly doesn’t sound like it’s optional, so we may as well suck it up and get registered,” Bette said resignedly. “We want this school right? And I don’t just mean for pre-school.”
“Yes,” Tina said confidently. “I actually appreciate that they ask a lot of the parents.”
“Then I’ll send the cheque in to get her registered and we’ll get this under way,” Bette concluded.
“I can give you a cheque for half,” Tina said.
“We’ll get it all figured out,” Bette assured her. “There’s also a lot of tuition to cover so there will be no shortage of things to pay for.”
“Too true,” Tina agreed. “So we’re set. We’re a bit in the dark about what this weekend is about, but the outline of the year she’s in for if…I mean, when she gets in looks fantastic.”
As if on cue, the server arrived with their appetizer salads. They spent the rest of the evening simply enjoying one another’s company in the seclusion of the private dining room.
************
“I’m sorry I asked such a personal question when you were over at the pool a few weeks ago,” Bette offered, during a lull in the conversation. “I’m so accustomed to being able to say anything to you, that I don’t realize we should be playing by different rules.”
“Don’t give it another thought,” Tina replied. “Part of me was just pissed because you guessed right.”
“I don’t want to ask anything I shouldn’t be asking so maybe it’s time to find a new topic?”
“No, it’s okay, we’re friends now right? Friends with a past, but friends. How are things going with Jodi?”

Sheist, swim! Tina needed more wine! Heheh…but off we go to tucky-in :)
Swimmie this is great.Can’t wait for Chapter 3.
well hurry on up jks, start writing the next chappie already – any chance you’ll be able to post today? pls? pretty pretty pls? oh well………
So good. My heart was seriously pounding when Bette was laying it a little bit on the table. If Tina gave her the sign I think Bette would put it all out there. But it seems like Tina is trying to observe the lines that are in place now. But damn, their friendship is so good.. and being together again with all their personal growth on the side could be even better. The white lie could be the truth. I think Jodi’s problem with Bette having family ties is a huge red flag. PPS.
Brilliant, come on bette, it’s time to leave jodi. The weekend away sounds like it could be a lot of fun for the girls. Please don’t leave us waiting too long!Thanks
Tina’s on the ropes…time for Bette to reel her in and stop the foolishness with Jodi. :) PPS
jks– One more bottle of wine and “what had been an intense and unexpected conversation” could have easily become “an intense and unexpected” reunion. I love this story. Thanks for finding the time to write it.
love it and can’t wait for more!
Did I mention that I’m so happy to see you posting??? I am!!! Get her Bette, back at the house, pin her down and tell her how you feel!!!
I want to swim with this story more than two more times, but I know how it is and am glad to see you posting. Thanks
Love this going to be hard to wait. thanks
Hey jks…Another great chapter. It was cool to have Alice and Tasha break the ice between Bette and Tina. This really sucks that it has gotten competitive with the whole pre-school thing. When I have children, I’ll check take care of them myself. LOL Thanks for the update and can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
I presume the lights will be a bit lower at Bette’s? So what’s with the barriers Miss Tina is erecting? Is she a great big coward or something?
That was great and Im with beachlife and please post more, thanks!
Gee I love the way you write!
Much can happen between the end of this chapter and the weekend away. More than four will be most welcome. Thank you for writing.
What timing for Alice and Tasha to show up! Looking forward to the tuck-in! PPS
Love the flow…love the dialouge…PPS
Ahh..blast it. Just when the conversation was getting spicy, in walks Alice and Tasha. Oh, well…let’s hope there are goodnight kisses for more than just Angelica…
Bette’s being a bit of teh Ms. Arsy McArse. Her non-subtle hinting on T when she’s the one in a relationship is basically asking T to help her cheat or break up. Pull head from posterior Ms. P and do your own dirty work. Good boundaries on the T side. (Have I told you before I like your writing?)
Swimmie, thanks for this new story, as this is excellent, as usual. As someone just noted, is Angelica the only one going to get tucked in, or do we Tibetters get that glimmer of hope that doesn’t involve any cheating? Please post soon.
wow that was great! So will angie be the only one getting tucked in?! pps
Hello jks, that was dynamite. Your brilliance at weaving the layers of emotions, both said and unsaid is just amazing. The dialogue you drew between Bette and Tina is just so powerful, it is two women who realize what they have, but are both unwilling and afraid to ask for it. They are on the same wavelength about everything, even their not so hidden but as Tina put it “Off Limits” position within one another’s lives. The question remains, we know and Tina knows that she is still in love with Bette but will it be seen that Bette realizes that she is still in love with Tina and take the chance with her heart once again, she realizes know that this thing with Jodi is about safety, she needs passion. You are weaving another fantastic story, full of huge emotions and amazing feelings. Brilliant. Sincerely, JC
ah, what a feeling!!!! jks that was fantastic. wow to see bette just start a convo that deep, proud of her. now tina needs to not be so afraid. thx
jks….this is wonderful. PPS.
Wow, I’m loving this stuff !!! This is just too good. But then again, I always love your stories, JKS. Could you please make this last a little longer than 4 chapters ?… Please… Please… Please… ‘Cause I’m afraid 4 chapters will never be enough to quench our Tibette thirst. Hehehe ! Thank you ! Thank you !
We definitely need more than 4 chapters, unless you make the last 2 like, 20 pages each. I can’t believe I just requested that.
i hope they will talk more while at bette’s…they have too…i love this, post soon and more…just don’t break our collective tibette-loving hearts LOL
hope bette starts up the conversation again at home while tucking in angie! they really need to have this conversation whether it’s planned or not! kudos for bette starting it :)
Now Bette seems ready to discuss their issues and Tina doesn’t want to. ACK! I so am enjoying this story and look forward to more.
I see that apparently they are aware that feelings are between them and they are trying hard to control themselves.
